Flickering after upgrading to kernel 4.16.0

[ghost]

Using Redshift on gentoo and it was flickered somewhat but it was tolerable under kernel 4.14.0 but under 4.16.0 its intolerable and I have to disable it. I hope the issue is resolved, let me know if I need to provide any output.

I too have flickering after kernel update. Running on 4.15.15

It flickers much just after i've started redshift, than it flickers every now and then randomly. I've two screens, they do not flicker simultaneously, its one screen at a time.

HI, have this issue since I updated to Ubuntu 18.04, same with the GNOME Night Light... so I came cack to Redshift, and it flickers less but still...any idea what causes this? Am on Kernel 4.16.1, but see this as mentioned since moce to 18.04

it seems screen flickers when I move mouse, not if I am idle...it is not replicable, like moving over icons or such...see no "system" to it
only using one (laptop) screen, so it is not relted to multiple screens (only) as it is often described
it is really annoying

Thx a million

Dan

UPDATE: its def a kernel issue...after going back to 4.14.34 issue is solved with GNOME light

I downgraded to 4.15.11 less flickering but still happens. Using amdgpu driver.

Thanks for reporting this issue. This seems to be related to graphics drivers and not directly related to Redshift. While it's nice to have this information available for the users of Redshift, ultimately it's not the right place to discuss kernel/graphics driver issues since it's not something Redshift can do anything about.
